Take it easy Brad and look after yourself!
We all know our bodies send us messages, actually attending to the
message, now, is the bit we are not good at.
I am getting older and I have started listening ... not an easy thing to
learn.

Subject: Re: http_post consumer API calls in a mass volume situation
Face down time was only 2 days, but I did 4 just to be "safe". They said I
had 3 detachments and a fold (not sure what that means) and other things
and that it must have been happening for months.
I Just have to sleep on the opposite side for at least 30 days, maybe
more. Not fun but lets say it wouldn't have been as bad if I had been
stronger in insisting the changes I saw in my eye need attention.
So, my advice.. never ignore any changes in your vision. Abd be your own
advocate. And ignore my typos for a while. haha.
